CFP Playoff Scenario - Who gets left out?

quote:

1 loss champ Oregon

Oregon’s 1 loss being to a middle of the pack SEC team, and their lackluster wins vs most of the rest of their schedule won’t bode well for them, IMO. I’d be more concerned about a 1 loss Oklahoma getting in.

1 loss champ Georgia

Does not compute

The more interesting scenario would be if Florida beat Bama in the CG. You would have a round robin of LSU over Florida, Florida over Bama, and Bama over LSU. LSU have a more impressive resume than Bama and maybe the best margin of victory (14 points over UF) of the round robin. But LSU would be only team to not win its division.

Everyone but Georgia.

That was easy.

I don’t see UGA making it in this year. Loss to USCe and ND getting smoked hurt them badly.

Not that it will happen, but if we win out those things won’t matter a bit.

I agree. If UF's D is healthy I like their chances of beating UGA.

That’s not chaos. That’s the worst possible LSU scenario. If LSU loses, the need Bama to win out or lose (inexplicably) to BOTH MSU and Auburn or to win out including the SECCG.

either way a one loss conference champ is going to get in over a one loss non conference champ

Bama beats LSU & wins the West, but loses to UGA in SEC Championship

LSU wins out, convincingly, after loss to Bama.

UGA - 1 loss SEC Champion (definitely in)
Bama - 1 loss division champion, head to head win vs LSU
LSU - 1 loss at Top 5 Bama, impressive schedule

Chaos.

I think LSU should be left out of the playoffs in your scenario. If teams like Ohio State and Clemson are undefeated and another team like Oregon or Oklahoma catches fire, then possibility Alabama is left out also.
